• Notes

  rimu39Barrie: The 1851 census for the Aitken family has Andrew Barrie of Dunbarton aged 97, he is the great grandfather of Alexander. the parish registers for Alexander Cowie and Agnes Barrie is going to be difficult to locate an IGI file has the marriage 1/Apr/1817 New Monkland. There is a file for Andrew Barrie in the 1841 census he is living in the family of Alexander Cowie. The Aitkens gave their children family surnames a way of preserving their family history, our ancestor has the name Agnes Barrie I think she was named for the wife of Alexander Cowie (Cowan). The son Edward Young Aitken born 1882 gives a clue to the father and mother of Thomas Aitken, most researchers have linked Thomas Aitken to the Dumbarton Aitkens and the decendents of this family migrated to Australia, Thomas Aitken of Dumbarton was also born abt.1814 and was married to Margaret Grey.
